If you do not provide the information that we request, we may not be able to provide you with the requested products or services. Any of the information we collect from you may be used for the following purposes:
Processing your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Kaleidoscope Application and Services, where you are located in the world and if one of the following applies: (i) if you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes; this, however, does not apply, whenever the processing of Personal Information in a certain manner is subject to and prohibited by the California Consumer Privacy Act or European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”); (ii) if provision of information is necessary related to entering into and performing an agreement with you; (iii) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation; or (iv) if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.
Note that under some legislation we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing (by opting out), without having to rely on consent or any other of the following legal bases described in this policy. In any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
Please note that our website may not recognize or take action in response to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals from web browser settings. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for what a company should do when a DNT signal is detected.

Once the retention period expires, Personal Information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.
